Manchester United midfielder Youri Tielemans looks poised to start against his former club Aston Villa in the Premier League this weekend.
The Belgium international has been a key player for the Red Devils since his £35m switch from the Villans and has started almost every game.
The midfielder recently had a brief spell as a substitute, but he is widely expected to reclaim a starting spot against Villa at Old Trafford.
Carlos Baleba sustained a painful hamstring injury against Roma in the Champions League in midweek, and he is therefore ruled out.
Tielemans came on against the Giallorossi and changed the complexion of the game with his distribution as well as eagerness to drive forward.
The Belgian may not possess the mobility of Andrey Santos, but he has the knack of making goal contributions when his club needs him.
Hence, he looks poised to make the XI against the Villans on Sunday. Shea Lacey could likewise start on the right wing after a fine cameo.
